Matt Bonner: I ask my teammates. … Maybe every few weeks I’m like “Has anybody come out with an awesome album?” Sometimes they’ll be like, “Yeah,” sometimes they’ll be like, “No.” Another funny story: We had Arrested Development last year — maybe you can ask (Kyle Anderson) about this. … Some of the guys came up to watch (the concert) after the game and Kyle was up there and they started playing “Tennessee.” Kyle had never heard that song in his life. I don’t think he was born when it came out. It made me feel incredibly old.

You still listen to current hip-hop?

What is it about SpongeBob that’s appealing?

Jonathon Simmons: I don’t know, it’s just a cool show to watch. I’ve been watching it since I was young. I still watch it at home. If nothing else was on TV and SpongeBob was on, I’m watching SpongeBob. My mama be like, “You’re just in here watching SpongeBob.” I’m like, mama, leave me alone (laughs). Let me watch what I want to watch.

Who has the best car on the team so far?

Ray McCallum: (Laughs) I mean Tim (Duncan) comes to the gym with a new car every day. I’m like, “Man, whose car is that?” He has some nice cars. LaMarcus has a nice collection. I don’t think he’s really brought everything out yet from some of the things I’ve seen. But those two guys really stick out.

Do you remember the first thing you ever purchased when you got drafted?

Kyle Anderson: I don’t know. You pretty much get everything — once you get drafted — everything starts to come in for free once you get a little bit of money. I don’t know. I bought my car. That’s probably the first thing I bought.

How do you react when you hear about guys wanting to play fewer games?

Dominique Wilkins: It’s stupid. We played the game when the travel was bad. You had to catch commercial flights and we played. I remember playing 38-41 minutes a night. It’s wasn’t the fact it’s too many games, especially back then when it was so physical. Thing is, things always change. It’s an ever changing game, but I think to cut back on games would be ridiculous.

What was your favorite Pop moment?

Cory Joseph:
My favorite Pop moment … I was in Los Angeles one time and me and Manu (Ginobili) were on the elevator, going back up to my room. He got in the elevator with us and said, “We’re going to dinner if you want to come.” So I didn’t know what to say, and Manu is like “Yeah, sure.” I was like, “OK, I’ll come.” Obviously, a rookie is not going to turn it down. So I went to the dinner, and I remembered he had like four bottles of wine at the table and he was making me try them. You know, I’m coming from college. I didn’t drink wine at all. He was teaching me about the wine and made me try all the different wines, so by the end of the night, I was a little tipsy (laughs). And then the next day we had the Lakers and he put me in to play (laughs).

So do you like how her character is developing? It seems when she finally is ready to take the Iron Throne back, something happens.

Danny Green: I think it’s going pretty well for the most part. I think she’s developed, from where she started, a pretty good pace. As you can see, it’s coming along with her kind of taking over, but I’m still waiting to see how it turns out with her dragons.

What is the best Valentine’s Day gift you gave someone?

(Matt Bonner interrupts) A box of chocolates!
Patty Mills: The best thing I’ve ever done on Valentine’s Day was sing “Cupid” on my guitar on the plane. It wasn’t for anyone but Matt Bonner and my teammates (laughs).

when you see your teammates or other players, they may drive these nice cars or something like that, you don’t see that and want something similar of your own?

Matt Bonner: I owned a Chevy Impala and (in) the 2014 model, they did a complete overhaul of the Impala. Completely remodeled the inside and outside. … I had my Pontiac Grand Prix ... that got into a car accident and the insurance company told me it would cost more to fix than it was worth, so they wouldn’t pay for me to fix it, so I had to buy a new car. … Kind of like that watch, I test drove fancier cars and I test drove the Impala. The Impala had better gas mileage, better leg room, it had all the same technological bells and whistles as the fancier cars and it was half the price. So why would I spend twice as much to basically get the same thing?

Some women like guys to splurge a little bit, buy them nice gifts and all of that stuff. Doesn’t seem like you’re into all of that.

Matt Bonner: Yeah, but you know what? This is one thing that has changed: When I came into the league, every meal was Subway. I would eat sandwiches every meal. Now it’s just lunch and I’ll splurge and eat at good restaurants for dinner and I enjoy good food that way. It’s probably from playing for Coach Pop and him spoiling us and taking us to nice restaurants every now and then. I found out what I was missing. Ignorance is bliss (laughs). If I never knew how good that food was, I’d still be eating sandwiches every meal.

Well I have a few Spurs questions for you, but before I forget, are you married yet? Still single?

Michelle Beadle: Nope, not married. I have a boyfriend going on two years now. I did the cliché: I moved to L.A. and started dating an actor (laughs). That’s apparently what you’re supposed to do when you come out here. But he’s a good one, and he was a man with no NBA team when we met, so it was a very easy conversion for him to go over to the Spurs side of things. Obviously that’s key because if I had met someone and he said he was a Cavs fan or a Houston fan, it would’ve been probably dead before it even started. So it worked out in my favor.

Is that what’s missing in today’s game — guys not wanting to be coached?

Mario Elie: Yeah. You have to allow yourself to be coached, especially when you’re a great player. It trickles down to the rest of the squad. There are no favorites. Pop gave it to Tony, he gave it to Manu, he gave it to all those guys. He didn’t care how good of a player you were. But those guys allow themselves to be coached. Everybody sort of follows suit and you see the success.
